I am happy that all five of my kids are done so that we do not have to deal with federal interference in our local communities on education and doing whatever Tony Evers thinks he wants, ignoring all of our previous history of local control of schools.

yeah, they just invented the title of State Superintendent of Schools last year. It's a brand new job! Also, there were federal standards for your kids, whether or not you were aware of them. Hope for their sake they got their brain power from mom!

That really is it, isn't it Lab. They scream of entitlements, but they are the ones, who when they get theirs, say "screw the rest". If you really want to see some great examples, check out the "living wage" thread in editorial. It was so bad yesterday I had to start quoting Dickens!!

Wislady1, the reason Walker wants NO jobs is that is how they will change FT into PT jobs and lower average wages (which, btw, have fallen significantly under the Walker administration). And, if you're self-employed, consider that as people have less to spend, they have less to spend on your services.

Running away as fast and as far as possible from the real problems of the state jobs and not enough money to pay the bills. Guess divide and conquer when it comes to schools worked last time around. Let's try it again right Vos?

What else would you expect from candidates vested in John Birch Society and ALEC money.Privatizing education is a top priority of both extremist organizations.These folks don't believe in being taxed for educating children. Get it?

You're kidding yourselves if you believe vouchers won't disappear from the "budget." Eventually, Wisconsin parents will either be paying tuition for their kindergarteners or, I don't know, sending them to public, preparatory labor camps?

Eventually, there will be no more dirty co-mingling between the classes, right, Mr. Vos? Gotta stratify, early.

And you'd better get your minds right, too, children of Wisconsin.Have mom and dad take a peek at the Birch Society website.Today's headline reads: "The World Honors Nelson Mandela a Communist and Terrorist."Yet they defend the Michigan Hutaree Militia in another article.

Nice. Our future educators....Insane people.

The Birchers are champing at the bit to "educate" and "enlighten" our children.They've "invested" heavily in ensuring there will be ample opportunity to do so...Right, Mr. Vos?

If you guys want some reading, check out the article out today talking about some of these things being done in North Carolina, which along with Kansas is becoming the home of neocons. Their newly passed bills about these types of schools has opened up public funding for HOME SCHOOLING. Yup. That's probably next up in the playbook.
